Yurah shivered as she arrived at the village gates, her exhaustion getting to her as rain soon thundered on to the ground, she heard shouts of guards and the creaking of the gate opening then darkness. After a while, Yurah woke up, but she wasn't on the cold hard ground but on something warm and soft, a bed? She slowly sat up as she shoved the heavy fur blankets off her and examined the room around her, it was rather barren but quaint in a way, reminding Yurah of...home, oddly, yet she had no recollection of a home to begin with.
She then got out of the bed, seeing she had been changed into a plain white nightdress than the ragged leathers that she wore during her escape from that place, just then the door to the room opened and she let out a frightened squeak as a man entered, taller than her but not as tall as Malak and not as much armour, "Oh, you're awa-" the man began to speak but Yurah cut him off with a loud scream of fear, "Who are you?! What are you doing here?!", she bombarded him with questions in a very high pitched tone, "Hey! Hey! Calm down!" He raised his voice so she would hear over her terrified squeaking, which ended with her quieting down, "Okay, Now can you please sit down, Miss?" He asked, politely with a calming smile which put Yurah in slight ease as she sat on the bed, her hands resting on her shaking knees as the man sat on the chair beside the bed, "Alright then, I believe we got off the wrong foot, My name is Nikolai Petronella, Lord of Amaranth Village, and who may you be?" The man looked at her while she twiddled her thumbs for a bit, "My name is..Yurah.." She shyly said as she fiddled with the lace ends of the dress, "Well, Yurah can you please tell me how you came to this village?" and with that Yurah told him everything, her imprisonment, the mysterious man, Malak and the portal, if she had cared to look up she would watch how Nikolai's face became very serious, "..So the portal is destroyed then?", "Yes sir.", Yurah looked up, her dark hair slightly getting in the way as he smiled again and stood up, "Well, There's a fresh change of clothes in the chest over there, Meet me downstairs when you're ready." Nikolai then left the room, gently closing the door behind him while she went over the chest, she managed to shamble together an outfit, a loose off-white shirt with dark leather ropes around the waist and forearms to hold it in place, dark brown pants and black leather boots with fur on the inside for insulation, the outfit was rather comfortable to her as she exited the room, making her way down the hall to the staircase, she then slowly descended down.
"Ah, you're ready. We have much to discuss."
